Real numbers and empirical data should drive our decisions instead of dramatic headlines. Too often journalists ignor the deeper trends.
Along these lines….many people wrongly buy into the idea that recessions cause crime. But your cited facts belie that conclusion, as crime rates are thankfully falling most everywhere. The national crime rate was unusually low during the Great Depression of the 1930s.October 11, 2009 at 7:35 AM in reply to: OT: Neighborhood Deterioration – Destination Temecula #467409ParticipantGood post TG.

Just under 50% of state income tax revenues come from the top 1% of taxpayers. Those people, who also do a lot of the business start-ups and expansions, are being clobbered by soak-the-rich politicians and are merely responding to incentives.

ParticipantPermit me to elaborate. A person with a high income but zero net worth–let’s say a hot-shot salesman with a few years of good income, but lots of credit card debt could easily get a loan. Someone with the same credit score, lower income but good net worth from a history of spending less than their income for many years would be less likely to get a bank loan.
Yet the salesman’s income could drop for a variety of reasons while the frugal guy could handle adversity better–has liquidity, spends modestly, etc. Where’s the justice? -
